Acting from the Intellect

Acting is a worthy art form that revolves around thesbians taking on complex characters in compelling stories to bring to life a narative that has the power to touch our hearts and souls. But when it comes to learning the craft of acting, so often the most popular methods taught to actors throughout the years have proven to be innafective, inconsistent, or sometimes even dangerous. The methods given might work in a classroom, but on an actual set or stage they prove unhelpful as they revolve almost entirley around creating an emotional response that is often impossible to either achieve or replicate under the demanding circumstances a professional actor will find themsleves in.

In Acting From The Intellect, author and award winning actor Nathan Clarkson, details his own method that he's fomulated and employed throughout his career. It's a method that doesn't root from fickle and uncontrable emotions but rather the reliable base of the mind. Nathan guides actors through elements of psychology, philosophy, and socilogy, to mentally build a more full and useful understanding of the characters we will be called to play, which ultiamtely will lead to more honest and connective perfomrances.
